ECA for masters only

[gc_007]

I have my bachelors and Masters from India. I have also done my Chartered Accountancy from India

For ECA, do I need it only for my master's degree. I hope ECA for master's only is good enough.

Nope, it must be done for all post-secondary qualifications earned from a non-Canadian university/college.

You won't be able to claim NOC 1111 for accountant because you need Canadian certifications for that. Check out NOC 1311.

I don't think so...he can just evaluate his Masters degree and still get the max pts that one gets from Masters (126 for married/ 135 if unmarried). See the language on CIC website:

"You will only get points on the FSW selection grid for your highest completed Canadian educational credentials shown in the ECA report. See the conversion table to see how many points you would get for different credentials, based on the outcome statement included on your ECA report."

The other thing about NOC - are you saying that CIC requires us to have CA certification if I were to apply under NOC 1111 which means if I don't clear the CA exam but have 7 years of work experience - I become ineligible, correct?

You only need to evaluate your master's degree - exactly what I did and I got 126 for it

For NOC 1111 ,

Employment requirements

Chartered accountants require a university degree
and
Completion of a professional training program approved by a provincial institute of chartered accountants and, depending on the province, either two years or 30 months of on-the-job training

I find it strange that you wouldn't need ECA for the Bachelor's degree because when I completed my profile, the form asked about ECA for my Bachelor's and Master's. If the requirement for a Master's degree is to first complete a Bachelors when wouldn't the Bachelor's need to be up to Canadian standard in order to have a Masters up to Canadian standard?

Need more inputs. I am getting confused.

I have the following degrees:
1. Master in Business Administration from India
2. Chartered Accountancy (CA) from India
3. Bachelor in Commerce from India.

Is ECA for master's only goo enough for me to earn 126 points or do I need ECA for Bachelors and CA as well?
